Sprong produced an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong has a goal and three helpers over his last four contests, but he remains one of the forwards head coach Dave Hakstol cycles in and out of the lineup. Sprong's 6:36 of ice time Thursday was a season low, so it's possible he could be in line for a return to the press box soon. He has 34 points, 108 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 51 appearances.

Sprong scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong took a shot from the left-wing circle that bounced off John Gibson and spun into the net. It was a good return to the lineup for Sprong, who had been a healthy scratch for the last two games. He's up to 16 tallies, 33 points, 108 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 50 contests overall, though his spot in the lineup is far from secure even with a contribution on offense.

Sprong notched two assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong returned from a two-game stint as a healthy scratch and proved he belonged in the lineup. He set up both of Morgan Geekie's tallies in Tuesday's win. Sprong is up to 15 goals, 32 points, 104 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 48 contests this season, doing almost all of that from a fourth-line role with some occasional time on the second power-play unit.

Sprong notched an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
John Hayden was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Friday, allowing Sprong to get back in the lineup after he was scratched for two games. The time in the press box did the 25-year-old some good, as he snapped his four-game point drought by setting up Eeli Tolvanen's third-period tally. Sprong has 15 goals, 15 assists, 100 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 46 contests this season -- it's already a career year for him, though he's not guaranteed a place in the lineup on a nightly basis. If the Kraken don't make a call-up or activate Andre Burakovsky (lower body) before Monday's game versus the Sharks, Sprong will likely remain in the lineup.

Sprong notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong had the secondary assist on John Hayden's first goal as a member of the Kraken in the first period. The helper ended Sprong's three-game point drought. He's still been relatively productive with four goals and five assists over 14 outings in January, and Sprong's up to 29 points, 88 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 41 contests overall.

Sprong scored a power-play goal and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong's 15th tally of the season bounced in off an Oiler stick in the first period. The goal gave him a new career high, making this an impressive first half-plus of the season for the second-round pick from 2015. He's at 28 points, also a career high, while adding 80 shots on net and a plus-12 rating through 37 contests in a fourth-line role. Ten of his points have come on the power play, and he's now scored in four of his last seven outings.

Sprong contributed a goal in Seattle's 8-5 win against Chicago on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong opened the scoring at 2:50 of the first period. It was his 14th goal and 27th point in 35 games this season. His offensive production is all the more impressive when you consider that he entered Saturday's action averaging just 11:10 of ice time. Unless his role with the Kraken grows though, Sprong will have trouble maintaining his current offensive pace.

Sprong registered an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Sprong flung a shot from a bad angle toward Linus Ullmark in the first period, but a sublime tip from Brandon Tanev made it a goal. This was Sprong's sixth point through seven games in January, and only two of them have come on the power play as he gets more involved at even strength. The 25-year-old's career year has seen him produced 13 goals, 13 helpers, 75 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 34 contests.
